Estimated release date Q4 2009 it says right on top of the page here. *points up*

There's no way it's coming out in march. Unless someone lied to Liv (Aion community manager). :)

Girlfriends come and go but Epic battles are Soulbound

It just might come out in 3Q 2009.  They are starting a friends & family preview for the NA/EU version. Most if not all mmo's does these and it goes something like this for a time line.

 

System is usually like this :

1.  pre-release development ( with RC's or release candidates, with an OS like Windows release candidates are usually semi-open betas, but this very rarely done with any other software )
2.  alpha testing by devs
3.  alpha testing per invite ( that's the family and friends scheme ), folks who are close to devs or related to devs test the client internally so very unlikely anything gets leaked to fansites etc. usually this is accompanied by an NDA as well so we're out of luck
4.  beta testing ( closed beta> open beta ). This isn't applicable in this case as Aion will have preview events, no betas.
5.  release
-patches and updates

timewise the largest gap is between stage 2 and 3

So if they are going to do a friends & family preview then they are at stage 3 and so the hardest / longest stages are over. (Note: We will not have a beta, so replace that with a preview event)
